Follow this link to create the temporary subpage. Simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement—if the original copyright violation cannot be cleanly removed or the article reverted to a prior version, it is best to write the article from scratch. (See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing.) For license compliance, any content used from the original article must be properly attributed; if you use content from the original, please leave a note at the top of your rewrite saying as much. You may duplicate non-infringing text that you had contributed yourself. It is always a good idea, if rewriting, to identify the point where the copyrighted content was imported to Wikipedia and to check to make sure that the contributor did not add content imported from other sources. When closing investigations, clerks and administrators may find other copyright problems than the one identified. If this material is in the proposed rewrite and cannot be easily removed, the rewrite may not be usable. State that you have created a rewrite on this article's discussion page.

History

Dixon University Center was once the home of the Harrisburg Academy, whose leaders built the five historic structures on the grounds today. The Academy maintained the location until 1941, when the War Department took over the facility. Since 1956, the Center has functioned in various configurations as an educational consortium. In 1987, the Center's Board of Directors - a community corporation - invited Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education (the 14 publicly owned universities) to lead the University Center at Harrisburg consortium and ensure continuation of its higher education mission.

The State System began operating the six-and-one-half-acre site under a lease/purchase agreement in 1988, and purchased the site in 1991. In 1993, the State System Board of Governors acknowledged the leadership and generosity of its founding chairman, F. Eugene Dixon, Jr., by renaming the Center in his honor.

Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education acquisition of the early twentieth century facility demonstrates a commitment to bring educational programs and opportunities to the Harrisburg area that the 14 universities have provided throughout the Commonwealth for over 150 years. Under the State System's stewardship, the five original structures were renovated and an Administration Building constructed to make the facility adequate for classroom instruction and business purposes.^[2]
